It's true there really is such a thing as getting 'high' from eating a hot pepper/chilli!

In this video, I share something a little more personal than usual. As a veteran who has lived with physical injuries and PTSD, I’ve found that gardening has been more than just a way to grow food—it’s been a path to recovery, purpose, and peace. This Memorial Day, I want to honour those we’ve lost by also recognising the power of healing and the simple things that help us move forward.
